The Occuplaytional Therapist, Kelsie, and Making Waves Occupational Therapist, Maddy unpack one of their favourite Blue episodes that looks at intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
Intrinsic motivation is the idea that we are doing an activity for its inherent satisfactions rather than trying to gain external products/rewards or trying to avoid a consequence. When we focus on intrinsic motivation, we are able to see the real barrier as to why a child may not want to or may not be able to meet the expectations.
